    I have to remind myself of that often since I do manage to get into a lot of trouble.

    Yeah, I zip them regularly. I don't what it takes to this kind of link site, but its an efficient format to get 100,000 links in a fairly manageable and useful manner.

    Dear Mr. Stormin Norman,

    I have noted that you post a lot. Not a word wasted though. The links you've found are invaluable.

    Please accept my apology for accusing you of being a "hog" when I really meant you "post a lot". I thought it would be funny.

    Now get back to work!:rofl2:

    I am a hog - well a small ham, at least! No apology necessary. No offense taken. :biglaugh::2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Now, did you have a pep talk with your new club member this morning, while shaving? :)

    By the way. On the subject of Hi-jacking. One may hi-jack their own thread. I just made this rule.

    There's a 71 455 Oldmobile Vista Cruiser in the paper this morning for....

    $600 I will have to look at it.

    Use stronger thread, they're heavy when towing! Heavier when filling up too!:)

    I've used that rule a lot, haven't I?

    It would definately be a drive once a week type of car. The 455 option wasn't all that popular for some reason. Even with $.25 gasoline back in the day.:biglaugh:

    $.25 per gallon!!! I was maybe 8 years old (1956) when it was $.36 per gallon, here. Son of a seadog! That would have been about the same, cause our gallon was 5 US Quarts, but our dollar was $.73 of the US $$. Never saw it that low again in Canada.

    They were a pretty wagon though.

    The wife was not impressed by the idea at all. A friend of mine has seen it. Pretty raggedy. Cracked glass everywhere including the very expensive roof glass.

    Oh well.

    Have I a deal for you. I'll buy it and then resell it to you once you get to Oklahoma for say......$6,000. I'll not even consider the origonal price as a finders fee and just eat that cost.

    I'll pay shipping to Oklahoma City.

    Deal?:thumbs2:
